The dancing eagle at the beginning of the show, danced with judges to get the spirit up and excite the audience. Is that talent? A dancing eagle? Apparently, it was Tyra Banks who was underneath the costume, pranking the judges. I still like when Nick Cannon prank the judges with his mime act, that was hilarious.

Courtney Hadwin,13 is a fantastic singer, and she rocks it on stage, and she got the golden buzzer by Howie Mandel. She will be in the top 5, and she will be going to the live show in Hollywood in a matter of weeks. Howie did it again, make sure you vote for her when she makes it to Hollywood.Watch it here.

Sophie Fatu, she did good, and she did it her way. Cute and adorable. Is she a little too young to compete, we will see.

Noah Guthrie famous from Glee (2009), Emmy and Golden Globe winner, he played Roderick Meeks. He has a fantastic voice. He will be going to Hollywood again and second chance of a music career. Remember to vote for him when he makes to Hollywood. Plus I was a fan of the show, and they had great music almost like a musical. Listen to his hits:

If you haven’t heard American Idol is back, and the votes did not pull through, if you were watching The Voice, on NBC, then you missed the drama on American Idol. Or some other show, they will repeat it, or you could DVR or tape it on your VCR and watch it later.

American Idol is different, they selected the top ten with the TV audience and people who did not vote, didn’t know it was on. It was on. It’s like people don’t care, they think it’s fixed and rigged. It’s not fixed or rigged if people voted someone will win. One time would not help. You can vote many times as you like. They don’t have the phone numbers anymore, everything is online and voting apps too, just go to AmericanIdol.com and download the voting apps.

Sometime people will think that they will win. If they think they will win; can we have thinking power to vote? You have to vote. If you don’t know how to vote, the simply solution is go to AmericanIdol.com and register to vote; and vote for favorite, this is different than the presidential election. You catch the recaps on YouTube or AmericanIdol.com website. Then watch the LIVE show on ABC on Sunday nights. You can DVR your favorite shows you like and watch it later, that’s how DVR works.

Here are your top ten:

Ada Vox

Catie Turner

Cade Foehner

Dennis Lorenzo

Gabby Garrett

Gabe Hutchison

Maddie Poppe

Michelle Sussets

Michale Woodward

Jurnee

Remember, if you don’t vote your favorite will be gone. And who’s fault it is?

Did you watch America Idol? It is on ABC not FOX anymore. They have all new judges R&B legend Lionel Richie, pop diva Katy Perry, country singer Luke Bryan and returning host Ryan Seacrest. All of these judges are from the music business, and they know what they look for a pop singer – not for an opera singer. If you are an opera singer, they could have sung a Mariah Carey song.

AMERICAN IDOL – Ò101 (Auditions)Ó – The gold standard of all music competition series, ÒAmerican Idol,Ó will make its highly anticipated return to television as superstar judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie set out on a journey across the nation to discover a new crop of inspiring talent with a touch of Disney magic, as it premieres its first season at its new home on AmericaÕs network, The ABC Television Network, SUNDAY, MARCH 11 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT). (ABC/Eric Liebowitz) KOBY (DENVER, CO)

“Truthfully, we are in the music business this Country, Pop and R&B standing here in front of you and I am telling you that voice is not going to work for records. We are looking for an Idol for popular music that is unique music” Lionel said to Koby, who sang opera and in the musical theater actress.

“I think you know you are quirky, crazy and you get caught up and come down to this route you are doing yourself a disservice,” Luke Bryan said.

In other words, it’s all about your niche, if you sing opera you don’t sing opera to executives who are in country music, pop music, and R&B music. Broadway is your choice. If you want to get exposure, then exposure you got and the humiliation in front of the judges and millions of people who are watching you. Maybe someone will see her and end up on Broadway. Know your niche and your genre of song. Sing a song that voice can sing. Don’t embarrass yourself. And don’t beg to go to Hollywood and don’t have an attitude, be professional they will see right through you. Let the judges decide.

Katy Perry is right, the truth hurts, Simon Cowell was right the whole time when looking for talent. You got to have something to impress the judges. It is not an easy task. You see thousands of bad singers and good ones on YouTube. Some got rejected, and some succeed. It’s hard work. Life learned and Life Lesson.

“You are 16 years old, you have to understand something this is not a business of being cute, and you love to sing. It’s a mental game, ok? If I follow Katy path I don’t want to give that opportunity, and you get here, and it will destroy you. I want you to understand that you are going into the fire!” Lionel Richie said to Layla Spring who is 16 years old and has a beautiful voice. She got the wise words from Lionel Richie, but it’s up to her. It’s drama and pressure of being a teen singer in Hollywood and lots of Hard work and not an easy task.

Harper Grace from being the worst singer when she sang the national anthem at the age of 11 to WOW a beautiful control voice and a gorgeous, quirky, and a country girl. She got a Golden ticket to Hollywood. People can sing better when they are humiliated and learn to be a better singer.

It was an exciting and emotional night on “America’s Got Talent.” Only five acts will go through and rest of the other acts new beginnings.

The AGT Judges Read Mean Tweets – America’s Got Talent 2017

Tyra Banks announced the fourth, fifth and six places and they were Colin Cloud, Diavolo, and Kechi. America had to save only one of the acts, and they had thirty minutes to vote on the AGT app. If you haven’t voted. Download the app because the finals are next week on America Got Talent.

Christian Guardino, Merrick Hanna and Angelica Hale. It was intense Christian was a good singer and Merrick had fun flying and dancing like a robot. Angelica Hale was save. She has a great voice but it was excitement and sadness, Christian and Merrick gave her hug.

Howie Rocks The Boat with Diavolo – America’s Got Talent 2017 (Extra)

Next round was Mandy Harvey, Celine Tam and the Pompeyo Family. They were all great. Mandy Harvey was saved. Mandy was Simon’s golden buzzer. Next week is the final. So the other acts will be competitive to be the next America’s Got Talent winner.

The next round was Light Balance and In the Stairwell. Light Balance was fantastic, and this time everything works, and it was spectacular to see them to perform live.

Now the Dunkin Save results, Kechi was in fourth place, and she was safe. Now it was between Diavolvo and Colin Cloud and it was a three to one vote, so Diavolo wins this round.

Watch America’s Got Talent on Tuesday and Wednesday nights on NBC! Who is going to win? We will find out. Don’t forget to vote! Get the app in google play or iTunes store.

It was an incredible night, last night on America’s Got Talent. Since Hurricane Irma is coming this weekend, we might lose power. I hope not. If we can get a cold front next week in the Carolinas, it could push Hurricane Irma away from us and no flooding too.

Anyway, Tyra Banks announced the bottom three and they were Evie Claire, Chase Goehring, and Eric Jones. If you have America’s Got Talent app, just downloaded on your phone and vote for your favorite.

Buzzer Buddies

The first group was DaNell Daymon Greater Works, it’s a singing group choir, and they were fantastic. I feel it’s was church day on AGT. I like this church and comedian Preacher Lawson. Really? The executive producers put them together. Hallelujah! Preacher Lawson wins.

“I predict that you are the next comedic superstar!” We’ll see what happens at the finals, but I, for one, can’t wait to see Preacher’s next stand-up performance!” Howie Mandel said.

The next round was Yoli Mayor and Johnny Manuel; they were fantastic singers. Unfortunately, they were dismissed. Johnny Manuel would get a second chance in the music business, and he has an incredible singing voice. Please, someone, give Johnny Manuel another chance in the music business. However, judge Simon Cowell made a strong point, saying, “You couldn’t have done any more, you walk out with your heads held high. Everyone is a winner in this round.” I like this Simon Cowell. He knows what music executives want, and performance acts to be performed on stage.

Then came Mike Yung and Darci Lynn. They were incredible performers and one won hearts of America. Eventually, Mike Yung went home, but he will make a record deal since he is in Hollywood. He has an amazing voice. Darci Lynn America’s favorite, her ventriloquist act was fantastic, and she’s an incredible singer and comedienne too. She was saved.

Billy and Emily England, and Sarah and Hero. Remember don’t throw your siblings while you are spinning around, that was incredible and shocking to the judges. The looks on the judges and the audiences who are watching them. I bet many people DVR it and watching it again in a loop. The spinning is over for Billy and Emily, but they were great. Sarah and Hero were saved. Catch!

Doughnuts roll for the Dunkin’ save. Evie Claire was saved. So that means Eric Jones and Chase Goehring the bottom two and the judges must pick one who will go the Semi-finals. It was 3 to 1 the judges pick Chase Goehring.

Last night result of America’s Got Talent was an exciting night to watch TV on NBC.

From Kechi Okwuchi, a plane crash survivor, Mike Yung a New York subway singer, Chase Goehring a singer and song writer and Greater Works Choir all advance to the next round.

The fantastic dance performers of Diavolo, and the mind reader of Colin Cloud. Sara and Hero, dog trainer act also advances to the semi-finals.

Kechi sang an emotional cover of Katy Perry’s “By the Grace of God.” Mike Young sang Ed Sheeran’s song “Thinking Out Loud.” Goehring sang an original song “Illusion,” and Great Works Gospel Choir brought down the house with “You’re the One That I Want” from Grease.

The other acts and performers will be missed, and they will do terrific in the future. So sad to see the amazing acts perform one last time for us.

Mat Franco and Piff the Magic Dragon, did Magic. Mat use a milk carton that delivers different drinks: beer, red wine, water, lemonade, juice, and milk. It was incredible, and it blew my mind. Piff and his magic dog wrote words on a white board; this dog has better penmanship than my doctor.

First, they were some minor issues that happen on the live show on Tuesday night on America’s Got Talent, everything was good. Unfortunately, things that did not go as plan. Maybe it was the Eclipse, blame it on the Eclipse.

The Bottom three was Eric Jones, Evie Clair, and The Masquerade. They had the lowest number of votes.

The first group was Brobots and Mandroids and Light Balance, both were good. Light Balance did have some technical difficulties, so far they had the dress rehearsal performance, and they were fantastic. It was flawless and entertaining. They should put the acts that use technology at the beginning of the show because it takes time to put things together and during commercials breaks. Light Balance was saved.

Next up was Mandy Harvey and Pomeyo Family. Mandy was a fantastic performer, and the Pomeyo Family was brilliant dog act. I want to get a onesie animal print for my cat named Yoda. Maybe a onesie Yoda for my cat? Mandy was saved.

The next act was Johnny Manuel and Demian Aditya. Demian was an illusionist and Daredevil. His act on Tuesday night was inside of the box with fiery flaming of spikes, the box was up in the air and when the box drop it would land on the spikes without Demian in it, and he would appear somewhere near the judges. Unfortunately, the box got stuck between the steel pipes. It was supposed to slide and drop to the fiery flames of spikes. What he should have done, is come out and appear someplace near the judges or scare the crap out of them. Ta da! He should have a backup plan when doing magic. Johnny Manuel was saved. It is not the end for Demian Aditya; he is great Daredevil and illusionist. Where did he go? My cat Yoda just disappear. He is using the force, lucky I had a litter box.

Next group was Celine Tam, Merrick Hanna, and Mirror Image. They were fantastic performers, but one of them has to go, and that was Mirror Image, they made it this far to come to Hollywood. The guys have charisma, and they are likable. I don’t know what the judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Mel B see in them. Maybe they have potential to become stars in Hollywood or have a YouTube channel hit, that would put Jake Paul out of business. Celine Tam and Merrick Hanna were saved.

Now the Dunkin save, with the Dunkin save the people have to vote for Evie Clair, the Masqueraders, and Eric Jones. Evie Clair gave her fantastic performance. The Masquerades gave a magnificent performance. And Eric Jones walk through the glass in front of Howie Mandel – that was incredible. Evie Clair was saved. And now the judges have to decide who would go through, and they were unanimous of the two acts. They were tied. The tie breaker winner was Eric Jones.
